Shortcuts Wait function [v2] (Reopened)

Somebody asked the following question and I was unable to answer the question despite the fact that it could be helpful to others. This is not a very good forum system for the community.

If a question is unanswered, why is it fair to lock a thread so others can’t provide helpful information and subsequently help benefit the community?

I don’t know, but it says I can create another question to answer the question so here it is. (This makes any “spam posting” reason’s Apple may argue, irrelevant, since instead of “spam answers”, the spammer could simply create a “spam questions” 🤷‍♂️)

Q: Shortcuts Wait function

Is there a reason that the wait function in the shortcuts app only works for around 3 minutes? Could this be extended?

I'd like to make a shortcut that turns off certain functions for 55 minutes in every hour, before turning them back on again for 5 minutes to pick up any messages and notifications, in order to save battery and general screentime.

This is impossible at the moment as the wait functions stops counting after around 3 minutes, and all functions remain off.

Thanks
